Chepstow Castle at Chepstow, Monmouthshire, Wales, is the oldest surviving post-Roman stone fortification in Britain. Located above cliffs on the River Wye, construction began in 1067 under the instruction of the Norman Lord William FitzOsbern. Originally known as Striguil, it was the southernmost of a chain of castles built in the Welsh Marches, and with its attached Lordship of Striguil took the name of the adjoining market town in about the 14th century.

Large flooded quarry with shallow-to-moderate training areas but the deepest part goes down to 70 m. The business folded in Feb 2022 and it remains to be seen if another will take it on. There's nowhere else inland in Britain for diver training at such depths, and the water-filled hole in the ground isn't going anywhere else.
